  1. In a large saucepan or small stockpot over medium-high heat, warm the oil. Add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, for 2 minutes. Add the sweet potatoes, celery, tomato paste, garlic, salt, and pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are starting to soften, 3 to 4 minutes.
